Courtesy of goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino, title aspirants Liverpool registered a clinical 0-2 win away at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.The victory not only extended the Reds' Premier League winning run to eight games, but also took them to within a point of league leaders Manchester City. Arsenal, on the other hand, saw their five-game winning streak in the league come to an abrupt halt.Playing away from home, Jurgen Klopp’s side were on the lookout for a quick start. They won a corner inside a couple of minutes, which led to their first shot on target. Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk dispatched a powerful low header, but it wasn’t enough to beat Aaron Ramsdale.Following the corner, Arsenal got a foothold in the match and started troubling the Liverpool defense with their clever movement and pace. In the 15th minute, Gabriel Martinelli outdid Trent Alexander-Arnold to provide a low cross inside the box. The delivery was only narrowly ahead of an onrushing Alexandre Lacazette.After enduring a disappointing first-half, Klopp’s men came out of the tunnel with a vengeance. In the 47th minute, Sadio Mane wheeled away in celebration upon finding the back of the net. Unfortunately, the linesman raised the offside flag to cut his joy short. Their go-ahead goal finally came through Jota in the 54th minute, as he converted from Thiago Alcantara’s through ball.The Merseysiders' second of the night came eight minutes later through substitute Roberto Firmino. The hosts tried their best to crawl back into the game, but the two quick goals took the wind out of their sails.On that note, here are five Liverpool stars who helped the Reds secure a crucial win over an in-form Arsenal team:#5 Thiago AlcantaraArsenal v Liverpool - Premier LeagueThe Reds’ midfield general Thiago Alcantara had a slow start to the game but improved dramatically as the match wore on.In the second half, he popped up in important areas, won most of his battles, and assisted Jota brilliantly with a perfectly weighted through ball.The vision he showed to slot the ball between Cedric Soares and Ben White was sublime, to say the least.Sky Sports Premier League@SkySportsPL🗣️"I don't understand how Robbo got Man of the Match"Thiago winding up his Liverpool teammate 5:06 AM · Mar 17, 20221905185🗣️"I don't understand how Robbo got Man of the Match"Thiago winding up his Liverpool teammate 😆 https://t.co/65nGvUI850Apart from the assist, the Spaniard completed 51 passes with 86.4 percent accuracy, provided three key passes, won nine duels, and registered six recoveries.He also attempted (6) and won (3) tackles in the match.However, he was lucky as Arsenal failed to capitilize on his wayward backpass, with Alisson Becker doing brilliantly to deny Martin Odegaard from close range.#4 Diogo JotaJota in action against Arsenal - Premier LeagueTruth be told, Diogo Jota did not have the best game on Wednesday night. He was wasteful in possession, dropped too deep at times, and did not create a single chance for his teammates.Yet, despite enduring a dreadful first half, he picked himself up in the second 45 and broke the deadlock for the Reds with his first shot on target.William Hill@WilliamHillMost goals scored at the Emirates Stadium by opposition players: 5 - Jamie Vardy 5 - Diogo JotaArsenal have a new nemesis. 2:58 AM · Mar 17, 2022529102Most goals scored at the Emirates Stadium by opposition players:▪️ 5 - Jamie Vardy ▪️ 5 - Diogo JotaArsenal have a new nemesis. 😈 https://t.co/mFDwYAkhWILatching on to Thiago’s perfect through ball, the Portuguese beat Ramsdale at his near post with a clinical strike.
